  • Man ask woman out. Woman accepts. Man pays for dinner and movie. Woman decides she's not interested in man romantically or sexually. Math: Man -2 (takes hit to ego and wallet), Woman +1 (free food an entertainment). To any woman or man that says they support true "equality", this is completely incompatible. Shouldn't the woman be expected to do "something" to pull her weight, like openly declare she's not interested at the end and then give the man gas money or wash his car. Something?

  • @buzzybeemarketing i understand like 50% french

  • @buzzybeemarketing sounds cool hehe

  • @georgelopezblows I don't do restaurants for first dates. Because I can't use the gold diggers as wing women at restaurants. Go to bars or some social place for the first date. Once you find out the true intent of the girl, use her to pick up better partner material girls.

  • @LBCDan Maybe you should move to France. There are no such things as dates in France. You do dinner parties. Much better idea.

  • @paulababe1985 Most women don't ask guys out.

  • @tranquilbluesky I pay for my dates. But they put themselves in a lower class when they aren't equal to me. Then they just become my eye candy to attract the real partner material girls.

  • I'm from Netherlands. Around here we men always are expected to pay

  • i can feel my IQ melting as i watch this

  • @tranquilbluesky If i were rich, i still wouldn't pay for dinner on the first date. You can't buy a girl, so gifts, paying for food etc are a no no. Or... is she really such a bum that she can't afford her own food?
